When presented with a dense soundtrack in an audiovisual setting, our visual system helps to "disambiguate unclear or complex audio stimuli."

Some of the results obtained include:
"Sounds with a smooth varying pitch were very difficult to locate. It gave the impression that these sounds were moving when they were in fact not."
"Sounds that changed could be located as long as the change was quite harsh. A helicopter s propellers or some other sort of machine were easy to locate whereas a sound like siren was not."
"With more than two sounds the quieter or less distinguishable sounds became masked and were not easy to hear until objects making the louder sounds were destroyed."
"Two or more sounds which were the same or very similar were also difficult to locate, although not impossible."
"Too many sources of sound were found to be detrimental to the game."

"The most important quality to explore acoustic spaces is the ability to determine the origin of sounds and speech."

Makes the point that images are "not visual by nature" although "the majority of image representations are created from visual perception."
Concludes: "it is possible to render a spatial navigable structure by using only spatialized sound" and preserve "with a notable degree of precision the structure, topology, orientation, navigation, and mobility."
As they point out, the experiment did not include "free navigation in open places".
